US Patent Issued to Renesas Electronics America on March 17 for "Overshoot detection in voltage regulators" (North Carolina Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,578,745, issued on March 17, was assigned to Renesas Electronics America Inc. (Milpitas, Calif.).

"Overshoot detection in voltage regulators" was invented by John Stuart Kleine (Cary, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A voltage regulator feedback circuit includes a first comparator, a second comparator and a logic circuit. The first comparator is configured to generate an overshoot signal based on a comparison of a voltage regulation target signal to a feedback voltage signal. The second comparator is configured to generate a forward current signal based on a comparison of the current sense amplifier voltage to a reference voltage. Th...
